Care Haven opens their doors to those in need.

In 1980 a group of concerned volunteers at the Elizabeth Donkin Hospital realised the need for aftercare services in the community for psychiatric residents who were discharged from hospital and had nowhere to go. Thus Care Haven was born.

Care Haven provides a home where:

the resident is important, where people are treated with dignity and respect

all our residents are guaranteed three meals a day

there is a set a routine in place where a person is comfortable, secure and safe

counselling is provided by psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, doctors and various other therapists

the needs of the resident is paramount

Care Haven is a place where:

you know that there will be someone to listen to you, to understand what is going on in your head

you will not have to remember to take your meds

all your needs are taken care of until you are strong enough to face the unknown, feel “normal” again
